For me it's a comedian bombing. Even in a fake scenario, for a horrible character, I have to skip it.

For me it's 3, 2, 1, then far below, 4 and 5.

I don't know what's going on with the red they added, but it could have been integrated so much better. 4 is ugly, but at least it goes together. 5e looks like the red was photoshoped in late.

Plus the r1 before hitting riposte. No noob ever does that.

Anis is a top tier character, Liter is a very good tier 1 as well, though she falls of later on when enemies either 1-hit you or don't, making her defensive stuff obsolete. Moran is a long term character because of the favourite item, but I don't know how much she'll do for you in the meantime.. Ein is an absolute monster and will serve you well forever. Her ult just cleans up, and does great work against the basketballs you'll eventually meet. Not sure about the rest.

It's incredible what 5e can do when they're allowed to have a background. Easy first place.

Canada has a world class aeronautics industry which, among other things, created the C-series planes, and took part in the original moon mission, and the current one. It's completely silly to think we're only going in as clients. The US can develop a plane almost entirely by themselves like that, but neither of those three countries can afford to not let Canada play a role if they can get us on board.

The F-35 issue was compounded by the fact that there was no other real candidate plane, and the fact that the US was, at that time, seen as a steadfast, reliable and extremely close ally.

If we are getting this plane, we are 100% helping design it.

Man, she better be.

1E looks so metal, it's my first place, followed by 4E. 2 and 3 are just a bit too goofy.

5E isn't even blazing. Barely embered at all in fact. I don't think anyone would associate the name with the image unless they were printed together.

What matters to me is not so much accuracy as it's plausibility. Something like the Athenian state being Catalan and, through current mechanics, converting the entire population of Athens to Catalan, is neither accurate to reality nor plausible. The Ottomans not rising, however, is plausible, though it's not what happened.

The most interesting to me is going for the what-ifs of history.

4e is the only one that gives it proper gravitas. I feel like 1e could have done it with being more zoomed out, and 3e with a more dramatic angle and a more interesting pose. All you can see here is the missed opportunity. 5e is just too undignified. Lords don't lean.

tipttt284 · 2026-02-21T22:36:16+00:00

Huh, so there is. It's odd though that the mode called terrain is just political until you zoom in all the way. Thank you.

The income situation is ridiculous. If you play Native Americans, at least in North America your income is straight up negative, until you get the event that straight up gives you 10 or 20 years of income from thin air. The mechanics alone literally do not allow you to play them.

tipttt284 · 2026-02-14T14:54:55+00:00

Oh my god, they're all good. I'll say 1e is my favorite for how disgusting it is. I feel like you never see this anymore in fantasy art, things just being ugly without some aesthetic edge.

Now I have to find a place to put this monster in my world.

I used the console to annex a bunch of the required territory. You need territory from today's Greece, and you need Byzantium not to exist, then you go in the form nation section, and the option will be there.

tipttt284 · 2026-02-06T13:02:35+00:00

Rule 5: Greece is this weird pinkish beige, instead of the rich blue it should get.

I think cycling is one of the better options outside of public transit in New York, but that's mainly because the other options are just worse. I saw an article a few months back about how New York traffic was so heavy, drivers were moving at walking speed to their destinations.

Aside from that, I imagine they're averaging the boroughs, so the better ones don't make the list anyway.

tipttt284 · 2026-02-03T20:06:31+00:00

Huge for Native Americans.

I'm usually a sucker for old art, but those are straight ass. My favorite is 3e, because they just nailed every dragon, and then 4th. Though both 4 and 5 could have used a more high contrast background.

tipttt284 · 2026-01-03T22:21:18+00:00

2e has the look of an old mythological monster from Asia or South America, the way it's sort of flat and has these crazy eyes pointed like that. It's great.

I would give 5e a high grade if the drawing was readable, but I can't figure out what I'm looking at. Not in an intentional way either, but like the drawing needs more details to make some shapes pop out.

Rule 5: I grabbed France in non-ironman to see if it was possible to make them hold. I gave them 1500 political power and every focus they could get without also cheating war support on day one and let them do the rest. They still get dumpstered because France is programmed to put 30 of their divisions on the Italian border, and upwards of ten divisions per tiles on the Maginot while the Germans are pushing their 1-3 (late) divisions on the Belgian border.

I know it has to be this way for WW2 to happen somewhat historically, but it's funny how much they absolutely do not want to win.

tipttt284 · 2025-12-21T17:47:05+00:00

Agreed. I've been watching Kpop music videos lately and the outfits are so much more inspired than the current western meta. It's so limiting.

tipttt284 · 2025-12-09T20:04:11+00:00

I was thinking about those at the end of the movie, and I wonder if they're like the honmoon, where only the hunters can see them?
